Winning 3 mains last week wasnt something i expected due to his illnes that last year killed him after the 10 minute mark.
So has he found a cure and made a full recovery or did the shorter mains help him stay sharp for shorter amounts of time, no matter if it was three times in a row?

I was at Glendale last week, his bike looked like it was handling incredible and not beating him up. As far as the illness and complications from his injuries go hopefully he has it under control and can keep it going all year. I didn’t expect him to go 1-1-1 either and I’m a huge Kenny fan. Stoked for him

So have they or have they not said it was Epstein Barr? Everyone I hear or anything I read it still refers to it as his ‘mystery illness’. Has anyone in his camp or Roczen himself ever said what the illness was?

he said the last season illness issue is now under control.his deficiencies are now balanced properly.his arm,by the looks of it when he extends it in the air in victory heats/mains looks damn straight.good extension now. although, last thursday before his 3 victories,he came down with the flu. post race,he sounded like crap and indicated head congestion and sore throat.if he pulls off a podium tomorrow night,he will be ahead of the game. week 2 of this bug is the worst for these guys.

I don’t think he’s been pushed yet, or more so he’s not really pushed himself. He’s said already he’s just trying to stay carol and relaxed, I think he’s upped his fitness and speed, allowing him to win at 90%.
Look at when tomac won, I suspect if he’d have really pushed he could have challenged him, but probably died off and then been dead all week. But instead he’s riding smarter

Although I am a Roczen fan, let’s not forget they were 12 min. races.

You do know he won another round already that was not 3 short mains eh?

I'll have to find the interview to make sense of what you said...

If you mean he never had it and the cadaver had inactive Epstein Barr which then multiplied and his immune system didn't nip it, that's some wild unfortunate luck! How long ago was the interview, I wanna go listen to it.

I just did the interview on Wednesday. They believe the virus was from the donor elbow process.

You can find it on ITunes, Stitcher or most podcasters, and our site dmxsradio.com

Have to wait and see. Not the first time Kenny held the red plate early (think last year)...See if he can keep up his current pace. He is certainly the man to beat at the moment.

While he looks great so far indoors going 30 +2 in the heat outdoors is another thing altogether. Sure hope he keeps rolling, though!!

And the race 2 weeks earlier was 20 minutes. He has gone 1-2-1 in the last 3.

Kenny has gone 4 of 6 so far this year. (using funny math here guys) I predicted 6 straight and my thread got clipped for fishing. Moral to the story? Not sure but I bet there is one. Smile

He takes 2 of the next 3
Hoping his fatigue issue figured out for the nats .... makes for good racing when everyone is healthy.

Yes but it was 3 of them in relatively quick succession. I expected him to not do as well in the 3rd race

I’m a Roczen fan, and proud of his comeback...but let’s wait and see how he’s looking 3/4 or so through the season.

He needs to pull a Dungey and the title is his. Be on the box every weekend. He’s all good. His extension isn’t his elbow issue it’s flexibility. He can’t bend his arms enough to button and put on a tie he needs help with that

This will be unpopular but I think hitting the deck like he did and watching his trainer get paralyzed messed him up mentally and this led to his physical symptoms. He couldn’t mentally push himself to go that fast, but he couldn’t admit that to himself, so his body shut down. He seems much better mentally now and his physical symptoms are gone now. Hate on the theory all you want but it seems they never found a diagnosis that actually explained what happened, besides normal levels of antibodies for Epstein Barr.
